MEANWHILE, THE ENVIRONMENT IS BEING DECIMATED. ACCORDING TO THE 2019 INTERGOVERNMENTAL SCIENCEPOLICY PLATFORM ON BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES ("IPBES") REPORT ON THREATS TO BIODIVERSITY, THE PLANET IS AT RISK OF LOSING MORE THAN ONE MILLION SPECIES IN THE COMING DECADE. AN ESTIMATED 20 MILLION HECTARES OF LAND WERE ILLEGALLY LOGGED BETWEEN 2000 AND 2012, CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCELERATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE, AND GLOBAL FISHING STOCKS ARE BEING DEPLETED. THESE CRIMES ALSO POSE A THREAT TO NATIONAL ECONOMIES, GLOBAL SECURITY, AND PUBLIC HEALTH. IF ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME IS NOT PRIORITIZED AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL, EXISTING PRACTICES CAN RESULT IN LOW RATES OF INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS OR A MISPLACED FOCUS ON LOWLEVEL, REPLACEABLE POACHERS OR COURIERS, RATHER THAN THOSE ORGANIZING OR FACILITATING THESE CRIMES AT HIGHER LEVELS.
